Imaging clinical information using dual-source 128-MDCT in two cases of pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two cases of PA-VSD were examined by computed tomography angiography (CTA) using dual-source 128-MDCT to reveal the anatomy and morphology of the pulmonary circulation. The first case was diagnosed as PA-VSD type B, while the second case was diagnosed as PA-VSD type A. These cases show that dual-source 128-MDCT can be used to provide clinical information for PA-VSD with the appropriate examination protocols and post-processing techniques.

متن کاملHolt-Oram Syndrome: A Rare Variant
Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterised by skeletal abnormalities of the upper limb associated with congenital heart defect, mainly atrial and ventricular septal defects. Skeletal defects exclusively affect the upper limbs in the preaxial radial ray distribution and are bilateral and asymmetrical. They range from clinodactyly, absent or digitalised thumb, hypoplastic...
متن کاملCoronary artery to pulmonary artery communications in pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect.
Coronary artery to pulmonary artery communications (CAPAC) are an important source of pulmonary blood flow in approximately 10% of patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD). A diligent look for these abnormal communications is important to prevent perioperative complications and achieve a complete repair. We present two cases of PA-VSD with CAPAC, one in a 7-year-ol...
متن کاملPulmonary atresia, "intact ventricular septum", and aortopulmonary collateral arteries.
In muscular pulmonary atresia, major aortopulmonary collateral arteries are characteristic of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and are rarely seen in pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum. Two unusual cases of muscular pulmonary atresia are reported, one with an intact septum and one with a perimembranous ventricular septal defect, closed in utero by aneurysmal tricus...
